Retailers face many compliance challenges. These range from product related compliance issues to supplier social and ethical compliance. As Corporate ethics face fresh questions from consumers, environmentalists and the media voicing objection to the poor treatment of workers and effects of manufacturing on the environment, the benefits of being able to demonstrate good behaviour grow in value.

Visibility into supplier factory operations can minimize the risks associated with product safety, regulatory compliance, and potentially late deliveries. Retailers that are able to manage product testing and the scheduling of factory audits and inspections are better positioned to meet customer and regulatory requirements

4Compliance allows a retailer to improve the quality of relationships, enhance collaboration between agents, suppliers and factories and ensure they are compliant with internal or governmental standards. This in turn provides the customer with the best quality of goods from socially, ethically and environmentally sound sources. Improved Supplier collaboration and retail document management is the key to reducing costly errors caused by misunderstandings and lack of visibility to information.
